Hi! More context is needed around what the object is you are trying to convert, because a functional mailmessage needs to have certain properties. :slight_smile:

give a try on:
DirectCast(YourObjectVar, System.Net.Mail.MailMessage)

I get it from outlook and saved into a list of object

Then you should be using the get outlook message activity (or get exchange, if you’re on MS exchange) as this will pull the emails directly into mailmessage variable types.

Thank, it’s a solution :mechanical_arm:

maybe we can avoid by remodelling. Can you give us some more context on your flow part for this? Thanks

I have a list of object that contains mailMessage and FTPObjectInfo, because for every item i do activity depending on the type.
I recognize the exact type of every element with a previous getType and a switch for every type I manage :wink:

can you check following (maybe it is failing)

MMList | List(Of MailMessage) =

YourObjectList.OfType(Of System.Net.Mail.MailMessage ).Cast(Of System.Net.Mail.MailMessage).toList
